Most people think crushing poker tournaments requires a full-time commitment.
But what if you could master 80% of MTT spots in just 3-4 hours of study per weekโeven with a job, business, or family demanding your time?
Hereโs a 3-step study routine & what topics to prioritize ๐

I often tell my friends to consider playing poker with someone before going into business or a big partnership together. Playing poker reveals A LOT about your character.
Here is what someone will discover playing poker with you ๐
๐. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ฒ?
With big ๐ฐ is on the line, sometimes something goofy happens. A player, dealer, or someone not even in the hand, makes a mistake that influences who wins a large pot. Are you able to maintain composure & be objective in these high-stress scenarios?
๐. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ, ๐๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ค ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ?
Do you stick to your strategy or get fixated on short-term results? Do you get impatient & lose focus? When others get lucky against you, do you experience feelings of ๐กanger, hatred, jealousy, or remain calm๐ง?
๐. ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ "๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ค ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฒ"?
When you lose chips to a player, do you chase back the exact same chips or recognize that all chips at the table are equal in value? Do you adjust your strategy to get up a certain amount or back even, or just continue playing the optimal strategy?
๐. ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ค ๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐?
In many cases, you are "getting odds" to call someone else's bet, even though your hand is less than 50% chance to win the pot.
๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐: $100 pot on the river & someone bets $50.
You have to risk $50 to call the bet, and if you win the pot you'll win a total pot of $200 (The original $100 in the pot, plus both player's $50 river bet)
$50/$200=25%. People often call, lose, and then say "I knew they had it, I shouldn't have called!" Instead of being content realizing that they would probably win this hand >25% of the time making it a long-term profitable call.

Regardless of industry, It's natural to have competitors. Sometimes your archenemy in-game has your number that day. All you can do is go with the flow, take the punches, minimize loss, & wait for your opponent to reveal a weakness that you can exploit. Many will get impatient, frustrated, or let their ego overcome them, and start to force suboptimal plays.
๐. ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง-๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ?
Every day we make decisions with limited info. Will dating xxx work out? Should I take this job? Should I partner w/ xxx, should I go to this university? Poker teaches you to put together different pieces of info to make the best decision possible based on the limited information you currently have available.
๐. ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ-๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ-๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐? (Continuation from previous)
When your decision based on limited info didn't work out and you took a job or dated someone that didn't work out.... do you make comments like "I knew I shouldn't have blah blah" and irrationally beat yourself up? Or do you stay objective & think long-term? The info you have now, you didn't have at the time of your decision. Something not working out does not mean it was an incorrect decision and if you continue making good decisions over and over again, enough things will work out in your favor to make those failures worth it.

Try playing poker, It might just help you become the best version of yourself ๐๐

Sharing the final table has been a great time. Hopefully one of is will leave a UKIPT champion.
Great news for everyone who isn't arsed watching my live streams! During SCOOP, I will be releasing highlights and recaps of each days action so you can follow along without sweating Twitch for 10 hours a day! This is the very 1st episode of... Inside SCOOP!
@FarazJaka it wouldn't even be that hard to do since they run the same tournaments Daily,they Could just average out the last 10 times of that tournament and give that as the estimate
@FarazJaka the amount of hands and practice you get in online poker is so much more then live poker, i think in this day and age its just a mistake to not be playing at least some online if you can. its like up to 10x the hands per table, And you can run multiple tables
@FarazJaka I think not Checkraising my top pairs in certain spots and definatly not having a study routine has held me back a ton, I always opted to play way way more then study, As its more enjoyable to play but im sure this has been one of my cryptonites in the past
@FarazJaka ICM is something iv struggled a lot with, you don't get to Final tables often so im very curious on how to learn how to navigate my stack from different postions on the FInal Table.
